Whether you are playing a single-sitting adventure or grinding out the 80th hour of an epic, every minute you spend playing a game is precious. As game developers, it’s our responsibility to make sure that we are respectful of the time that you choose to spend playing our games. Today, we’d like to spend a little time explaining how we account for a player’s time during the development of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, and what that means in practice!
We believe it is vital to address the social injustice and oppression that has been affecting the Black community for generations. Yacht Club Games stands against systemic racism, violence, and oppression.
Historically, cheats were discovered and documented by brave explorers and shared among the community in whispers. Today, we are ecstatic to reveal the complete Cheat Database for every adventure in the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove collection! Whether you’re looking to adjust the challenge or add a little extra spice to your next playthrough, try out these new ways to play!
What’s up, soil suckers! As everybody knows, Shovel Knight barely ever makes cameo appearances or shows up in other games. But today, we’ve had a little change of heart, and decided to allow the Blue Burrower to roam to other places. “But where should Shovel Knight appear?”, we thought to ourselves. Not in video games! Those are boring! Instead… what if Shovel Knight made some cameos in REAL LIFE!?
That’s right friends, Shovel Knight is going to be making appearances in all of your favorite board and card games!! And best of all, it’s happening right now, courtesy of your pals at the Yatch Club! Scroll on down for a true extravaganza of unofficial, parody, very legal cameos featuring your favorite knight that digs. These additions should spice up your next game sesh, especially if you’ve been stuck inside lately as many of us have. There’s a lot to check out, so read up and then print ’em out, cut ’em up, and get playing! Have fun, and don’t forget to send us pictures!!
A lot of thought goes into creating all of the characters you interact with during the course of a Shovel Knight adventure! You may have asked yourself: How does Yacht Club decide on a character design? Do they sketch out ideas first or go right to making sprites? Why are there so many horse people?
Some questions don’t have easy answers, but today we can at least shine some light on our process of creating and animating an NPC (non-player character ) for Shovel Knight: King of Cards—The Hengineer.
